专辑介绍:
约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴哈（德语：Johann Sebastian Bach，1685年3月21日－1750年7月28日），巴洛克时期的德国作曲家，杰出的管风琴、小提琴、大键琴演奏家，同作曲家亨德尔和泰勒曼齐名。巴哈被普遍认为是音乐史上最重要的作曲家之一，并被尊称为「西方『现代音乐』之父」，也是西方文化史上最重要的人物之一。
巴哈出生於德国中部图林根州小城艾森纳赫的一个音乐世家，在有生之年是一位著名的宫廷乐长，在德国莱比锡圣多马教堂 度过了一生中的绝大多数时间。
儘管他的音乐并没有开创新风格，但他的创作使用了丰富的德国的音乐风格和嫻熟的复调技巧。他的音乐集成了巴洛克音乐风格的精华。但由於音乐的风尚迅速转向为洛可可和古典主义风格，巴哈的复调音乐音乐被视为陈腐之物，其成就长时间未得到应有的评价，仅仅作为管风琴演奏家而闻名。虽然莫札特、贝多芬等伟大作曲家均对巴哈的作品崇拜有加，但直到浪漫主义时代，作曲家舒曼在莱比锡的图书馆中发现了巴哈的受难曲，并且由作曲家门德尔松在音乐会上演奏，才震惊音乐界。此后门德尔松对他的作品进行了发掘、整理和推广，经过几代音乐家的共同努力，巴哈逐渐获得了今天的崇高地位。在西方音乐史上巴哈(Bach)，贝多芬(Beethoven)和布拉姆斯(Brahms)被尊称为德国「3B」。
Johann Sebastian Bach (German pronunciation: [joˈhan] or [ˈjoːhan zeˈbastjan ˈbax]) (31 March 1685 [O.S. 21 March] – 28 July 1750) (often referred to simply as Bach) was a German composer, organist, harpsichordist, violist, and violinist whose ecclesiastical and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity.[1] Although he did not introduce new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, an unrivalled control of harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France.
Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Partitas, The Well-Tempered Clavier, the Mass in B Minor, the St Matthew Passion, the St John Passion, the Magnificat, The Musical Offering, The Art of Fugue, the English and French Suites, the Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, the Cello Suites, more than 200 surviving cantatas, and a similar number of organ works, including the celebrated Toccata and Fugue in D minor and Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor.
Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected throughout Europe during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now regarded as the supreme composer of the Baroque, and as one of the greatest of all time.
